Authorities are asking for help in identifying a man who made sexual comments to a 14-year-old student on his way to Paterson's School 24 on Friday.

Lt. Bert Ribeiro told the Paterson Press the boy was walking to school along 19th Avenue at 8:15 a.m. when the man pulled up in a black SUV and offered the boy a ride. He ran away after the man made sexual remarks, the Paterson Press said.

The only description of the suspect police have is he is white, the report said.

Authorities ask that if anyone else is approached in similar circumstance to call detectives at 973-321-1120.
